A petition to have YG’s “Meet The Flockers” banned has reached its goal of 100,000 supporters and has therefore warranted a response from the White House.
According to Atlanta Black Star, given that the petition reached the necessary amount of support, government officials must respond within 60 days.
The creator of the petition, listed as Y.C. says, “The song ‘Meet the Flockers’ by YG encourages violence and crimes to a specific ethnic group.”
Before demanding that the My Krazy Life record be banned and the rapper be investigated, the petition creator stated that the Chinese community was offended and threatened by “Meet The Flockers.”
“As one of this group in North America, I feel seriously offended and threatened. Please ban the song from public media and investigate legal responsibilities of the writer,” the petition said.
On “Meet The Flockers,” YG kicks off the DJ Mustard-produced record by describing a burglary and rapping: “First, you find a house and scope it out / Find a Chinese neighborhood, cause they don’t believe in bank accounts.”
In an interview with The Urban Daily several years ago, YG said much of My Krazy Life, including the controversial song, was based on his own experiences.
“Where I’m from that’s what the teenagers up to the mid twenties is doin out there…they flockin,” he said. “That’s big in the culture. They burglarizing houses.”
He faced a two-year prison sentence when he got caught breaking into a home, but served only three months behind bars because of intervention from a high school friend’s mother who worked in the justice system, before signing to Def Jam in 2009.
“I went to jail for residential burglary and when I got out three months later I got signed,” he continued. “[But] I was supposed to get two years in the pen. If I had gotten the two years I wouldn’t have got signed to Def Jam. What I had in the streets would have died down probably.”
Since the petition has surfaced, YG has remained relatively silent on the matter, offering no response on social media.
Why didn’t the White House feel they didn’t have to respond to shit when Harambe dying got over 100,000 supporters to sign that petition to send that fat magilla gorilla mother to jail???????????
DICKS OUT FOR HARAMBE!!!!!!
Real shit
Dicks out for Harambe
Good, I hope they shut this no talent piece of shit down. Real hip hop fans don’t listen to this clown anyway, FACT
Who the fuck let this clown out the cotton fields anyways smh
400 or diie
Peace of shit
I won’t be surprised if the federal government investigates his legal responsibilities such as his history with the Bloods. However, it would be a waste of time to focus on a piece of shit like him.
haha if YG a piece of shit then what are the other hip hop artists lol ? Atleast u can relate to most of the things YG says , who do you like right now ?
These muthafuckas dont petition songs about blacks killing and robbing other black folks cuz that is ENTERTAINMENT. FUCK DEEZ HYPOCRITES!!!!!!
they dont do petitions for blacks because THEY ARE CHINESE. if black people don’t want those type of lyrics in there songs they should also make a lame ass petitions just like these LAME-O’s. sheesh what happened to artists having freedom of speach…why don’t we Ban cartoons because they chase each other with guns while we are at it.
That’s kind of like saying why don’t blacks create a BLM group aimed at their own race when they are the ones killing each other more than the cops are. Any one who condones this song is seriously wrong in the head.
ever see the short movie with YG when they break into a house.
The government doesn’t have the right to ban anything…dolts!
